Well,

I'll just leave it upto the experts to tune my car as they know what they are doing.

Hey, I'm not saying they don't know what they are doing. I've heard really good things about them.

But like I always say, I never trust anyone. Especially when I can research this stuff myself and find out alot of information before I even talk to someone that wants my money...

yeah do some research, then talk to them, throw around some techincal jargons which means " I know what I'm talking about, you f**k with me I'll have your testicles hanging outside my house"

Strange that they're telling you it needs a cold start test...

It's a PFC. No need to do anything with the cold start, seriously, there's nothing to be done at all. If it was a Microtech or other then thats fair enough.

Wil, it's funny when I did my research and ringing around I was thinking unigroup and asked them how long they needed it for. They said X days because we need it for cold start.

I thought the same as you and decided not to use them. I have since used them for a touch up tune and had a chat to them. I mentioned why I didn't go to them originally and they explained in full why.

The gist of it is, and these are my words not Yavuz', he is a perfectionist. He thinks that it is quite likely that the cold start will be fine but occasionally it isn't and he wants make sure. The thing is if he decides to make an adjustment he has to wait until it's completely cold again to see if that adjustment had an effect, hence the need to have it for some time.

He also has a thing about people going to dyno days and getting another tuner in their ear saying this bit or that bit could be improved. He wants to leave absolutely nothing out there for them to bag out.

If anyone doesn't understand or beleive this, just call them and ask for the full explanation.

I normally use Mark from Hills Motorsport who I think is an extremely talented tuner but he is in Japan for a while and was heavily booked in the weeks coming up to then so I that's why I went to Unigroup. Mark also has much more experience than 80% of the other tuners out there.

Im going out to unigroup tomorrow to check it all out.My FC arrived today and im keen to get it in the car.

Anyone care to share what the Base map is like compared to the stock ECU?

Can you feel any difference?

well i dropped my r33 gtst into tunehouse today at marrickville. i havent heard of many guys taking their cars there but they seem to be really good. their website explains a lot about them and the their workshop looks fantastic. i guess we'll wait and see. they sold the power fc to me for $1550 and the tune is $800. the tune does not start from any base mappings but they told me they start from scratch. i'll tell you all about it when done... hopefully will have her back tomorrow.

Ive just installed my FC and it seems to be hunting alot.In the FAQ it says to reset it and start again but it doesnt tell you how.And it also doesnt tell you how to reset the FC?????

Anyone?

193 - well todays standards isnt high, but the whole rev range feels awesome, so much quicker than my 215rwkw LS1 I had previously :( (seat of the pants feel - WSID will tell soon :happy: )

193.8rwkw on 11

midrange is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kewl. Assuming your running std turbo and injectors. Are you running a split dump pipe and hi flow cat?

Also..did you end up getting a EBC or a turbotech?

I'm probably blind and missed your post, Chris, but who'd you end up getting to tune your car?? Power figure looks good.

Unigroup are awesome. Yavuz is very thorough and provides extremely safe tunes with good power curves. He may not squeeze every last kW out, but he always provides a tune which won't compromise the engine's reliability and will provide a smooth power curve for maximum drivability. Unigroup FTW

That said, Jim @ Dart Automotive also provided a nice tune on Brad (blk180/FEAR)'s GT-R recently which I'm impressed by...

Ok, so i have my baby back from Tunehouse in Marrickville. My car went from 140.9rwkw, now i have 204.5rwkw. My torque figures went from 1027.2Nm @ 5196rpm to 1518.3Nm at 4473rpm. very happy with the results. i also replaced the oxygen sensor, now i just have to hope the fuel economies are better...

My mods are:

3.5" turboback stainless Xforce exhaust

Apexi Pod Air Intake

GFB Stealth FX BOV

GFB Atomic Boost Controller (running 13psi)

Front Mount Intercooler

Apexi Power FC

    • You've just discovered a really good reason to tell yourself, yes, I do need to buy an aftermarket ECU. Put the MAF in the bin. Slap in the new ECU and have a think about what turbo sounds you prefer.  Do you want a 90's style BOV wooosh? Do you want a hektik tsututututu?  Mate, can't go wrong. Just gotta get that ECU and the world is your oyster. 
    • Hi. Iam just curisou about this topic. I saw this video. It is about Greddy Type FV2. I know that BoVs are about that sound but how and when to use it? I read some topic here and from what i have understand on stock RB with MAF there will be some "problems" if you use this BoV? It vents the air in to the atmosphere and the MAF on stock car needs this air back in to the intake and not out? Or is it wrong? If so...i saw you can put some adaptor to circule air back...but does that not "loose" that sound? I saw another BoV from Turbosmart and it has two "exhaust" like ports? One is for the stock tubing for letting air back and one is for "sound" and let the air in the atmosphere? Can someone please explain? This is the Greddy one:  And this is the Turbosmart.     THANK YOU!! EDIT: So i read about this topic some more and i if i understand that correctly: That Greddy can function either like BoV or 100% Bypass valve? And that Turbosmart is what they called hybrid so you can adjust what and how many air can be vented out or back in? Is this right? THX!
    • That dirty voltage drop is the culprit I suspect 
    • i cant get them all in 1 screenshot unfortunately as i just dont know how to move things around tbh, but they are all from the same log and the line crosses at the same point for all of them
    • It's about time I start work on my sun tan. So I knocked up a few parts that will all combine together to become my new power steering reservoir. Now just to produce an abundance of UV and IR rays while melting a heap of bits of alu to become one... Well, that's after I put one more hole in it for the return line to plumb to. It likely won't be this weekend, as Sunday I'm meant to be in doing some last minute stuff to the AMG race car, and the weekend after will be filled with non my Skyline stuff, followed by Bathurst 6 hour. So I don't expect to get to melt metal for at least 3 weeks.   I also managed to stuff up and start cutting the hole for the res to pump pipe on the wrong side of the line... It means instead of the lines being nice and tight against the inner guard, they'll be out off the guard.    The size of it means I should end up with about 1.8L of power steering fluid, and still have space for another half a litre before it reaches the overflow/breather. This is wayyyyyyy more capacity than factory, which should help keep Powersteer oil temps lower, and the design hopefully allows it to prevent any aerated oil being able to makes its way down to the bottom as it'll have a couple of baffles and some hopeful trickery to force air bubbles away from the bottom.
